Team vs Manchester City: Carabao Cup Final 2021

[Zippy1980]

Unfortunately I think Ndombele is cooked so probably wouldn’t start him Sunday

 

[chrissivad]

Yes... my prediction didn't last long!

A Sissoko shot is more likely to hit one of the corporate boxes to be fair

 

[yankspurs]

Can Tanganga start over Dier? Please? As for the midfield, idk. We need a CM next to Hojbjerg here to help recycle possession which Winks is actually decent at. But he costs us dearly when he is forced to pass the ball. Whatever we do at CM will effect AMC. Oh and we desperately need Kane fit. Everyone else picks themselves.

 

[cozzo]

Big game players must play

I know it's a joke lineup but Rodon is cup tied.

Thanks, I have amended.

Lloris
Aurier Toby Dier Reggy
Ndombele Hojbjerg
Bale Lucas Son
Kane

I think I trust Lucas over both Dele and Lamela at the moment. You can't trust Lamela not to get an early booking in a high stakes game and Dele will be too rusty to start. Plus we'll need Lucas energy to press.

Tempted to drop Ndombele for Lo Celso, he's gone missing the last few weeks.

lo Celso next to holjberg and Moura behind Kane as he was great their and has the energy to join attacks and press

 

[gibbospurs]

Stones direct red card... Does that mean he is out for Sunday?

Thought that’s just prem games?? ?‍

 

[cjbyid]

Kane in for moura or even GLC and keep the same 11 as today providing he's fit for me.

It's a cup final so just try and stay in the game as long as we can especially against city. I do hope we kinda go for it. Attacking is obviously our best strength.

Nope, any suspension resulting from a red card applies to all domestics competitions. A 1 game suspension resulting from 5 yellow cards would only apply to the league though.

Spurs to win 1-0 in the 90th minute when a Sissoko potshot crashes into John Stones arm in the box

Stones is suspended, sorry.

Kane

Get at that defence let that front 4 press them and counter ! Ndombele for me just isn’t doing it don’t know if he is tired or just lack of effort ! Move gio back he done well there last season and loves a tackle anyway and more progressive than any other option ! TO DARE IS TO DO ! COYS

Think Kane will play even if he's strapping his ankle and having pain killers.

 

[Saoirse]

Stones is suspended, sorry.

He wasn't when I posted lol

 

[Nebby]

If we start with PEH, Ndombele and Lo Celso in midfield, the game will be over in the first twenty minutes. City will start fast and blow those three away.

If they click then they won’t. They have the quality, they just need to apply it. We can win. Blimey! Leeds beat this Man City team with 10 men.

I rarely post - just twice in many years I think. Anyway, will attempt a line-up for Sunday.

Lloris
RCB CB LCB
Aurier Reguilon
Højbjerg
Lo Celso Ndombele
Son Kane

No idea of best defensive line up, so any 3 of those available. Reluctant to play a back 4 as City will tear us a new one down the wings if our full backs venture forward. At least playing wing backs hopefully gives 'some' protection. Only two up front, and no Bale won't be popular with many I know, but no point having too many forwards if they never see the ball. If Kane doesn't start I would replace him with Bale though. Think there are 5 subs on Sunday, (from 9)? Really need them all to turn up, whoever plays and no silly cards. Will get a Now TV sub and watch at least the first 10 minutes from behind the sofa - would love to make it all the way through.

 

[onthetwo]

Lloris
Tanganga - Sanchez - Dier - Alderweireld - Reguilon
Doherty - Sissoko - Hojbjerg - Winks - Aurier
Kane​

Agreed - lets see if their smart-arse European fancy-pants tikka-takka tantric tactical genius spots that we have more players than they do!
